Insurance adjuster coming for hail damage. Will they pay?
What to know before the adjuster arrives, from a local Westwood, OH roofing team that meets them with you.
You saw hail hit your roof last storm. Now the insurance adjuster is on the way. You are worried they will deny the claim or only pay for a patch. Many Westwood homes, with their older roofs near Harrison Avenue, face this exact fear.
Hail leaves small dents and cracks in shingles. You may not see them from the ground. But water can get in and rot the wood under the roof. An adjuster who misses those spots can say the damage is not bad enough to replace the whole roof.
A full roof replacement in Westwood often runs from $8,000 to $15,000. The cost depends on roof size, pitch, and how many layers need to come off. A patch job may cost your insurer less now, but it leaves you with a roof that fails sooner.
Before the adjuster arrives, have a roofer who knows insurance claims walk the roof with you. They mark every hail hit and take photos. TruRoof can meet the adjuster at your home and point out damage that is easy to miss. This gives you a better chance at a full claim approval.
Once the claim is approved, you get a roof that protects your home for decades. No more tarp worries. No more leaks. Just a solid roof over your head, paid for by the policy you already have.
What people in Westwood say
"Best."
"I'm reviewing my two new roofs, on my house and my garage, installed by TruRoof. The company, and Damon Chuke, their representative, helped me work with the insurance company, and with understanding all the details of the whole process. They took out an obsolete chimney, were on time and professional, and the finished roofs and flashing are beautiful. Many compliments from neighbors. Highly recommended by me."
"Great experience, professional, efficient and I love my new roof and gutters. I would definitely recommend TruRoof."

You can replace a single shingle if you have the right nails, sealant, and ladder safety gear. But if you break the seal on nearby shingles or nail in the wrong spot, you create a bigger leak. For anything more than one or two shingles, call a roofer.
